My favorite is a disappearing 9 patch. Finished block size is 13".
Another great idea is the "Good Night Irene" Quilt, which was featured by Fons and Porter; but if you google it, you can find the same blocks elsewhere. It is a combination of 16 patch blocks and X quilt blocks. I did see a Missouri Quilt video on how to make these blocks. Someone wrote that this quilt will take: "233 charm squares (6 packs), 3 5/8 yards white solid for blocks and the inner border and 2 3/8 yards blue print for outer border and binding. The backing takes 8 1/4 yards. The finished size of the quilt is 82X90. You make 36 (8 inch) Sixteen Patch blocks and 36 (8 inch) X blocks."
